Oh-Barcelona.comDecember 20, 2012Did you know? Barcelona Cathedral is NOT, as many think, the Sagrada Familia. The Barcelona Cathedral is actually found in the Barri Gòtic, but is still almost as spectacular as the Sagrada!
OK Apartment BarcelonaApril 2, 2013You can pay €2.50 to go to the rooftops of this building. This Cathedral is free to visit anytime except for between 13:00 - 17:00 when a €6 donation is requested (rooftop & choir visit included).- The TelegraphMay 21, 2013On arrival - 8pm: Head for the great Gothic cathedral, and the tangle of medieval streets around it – you’ll get lost, everybody does, but that’s the charm of the Barri Gòtic.Upvoted Jan 9
Cheen The CuriousApril 23, 202213 white geese are kept in a secluded cloister, with courtyard & fountain. The specific number is based on the assertion that St. Eulalia was 13 when she was martyred. Source: Wikipedia. Photo: Church
Luciana VicenteApril 18, 2018If the line is to big, go to another museum near and probably when you finish the line will be smaller! The church is beautiful and wort to visit
Maria NemogaiJuly 22, 2019One of the city gems. Take time to just sit outside and gaze at the building for an hour or so. Btw the facade and this gorgeous roof weren’t always there :) check out the history )
Stacy Bo BacyMay 27, 2019Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, but the main facade and all the visible gothic elements were added during the late 19th and early 20th century. Free outside of 1-5:30pm.- Cheen The CuriousSeptember 24, 2022This popular Barcelona Cathedral is actually called the Cathedral of the Holy Cross & Saint Eulalia. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Source: Wikipedia
KennyOctober 12, 2016Very simple and very beautiful. Sadly in the shadow of Sagrada Familia in importance, visually. Note the hours it's open and when it's free and when they charge admission.
MuratOctober 14, 2023So beautiful, inside is even more beautiful. Always crowded. There are stairs in front of the entrance, you can sit and relax, watch people. Sad you need to pay to enter a church.
Vlad ShwaloffAugust 20, 2013Great place, many impressive medieval arts and sculptures. Don't miss a lift to rooftop terrace with nice cityline views and stars in a middle of a church follow you down to Euluania's tomb- Apartment BarcelonaFebruary 13, 2013Stop at Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia for a glimpse of some breathtaking Barcelona architecture. Did you know there are always 13 Geese kept inside? See if you can find them!
Pilgrim 🛣July 20, 2016If you can't enjoy how beautiful this building is, take a look around and just enjoy how happy everyone is in this courtyard.
Kathleen KyraSeptember 5, 2014Esplêndida! Grátis a partir das 17h30 até às 19h diariamente. Só é permitida a entrada com os ombros e joelhos cobertos. Splendid! Free from 5:30-7pm daily. Dress code: shoulders and knees covered.
Ben EngenNovember 14, 2016The square in front of the Catedral is quite the happening place. I'd highly recommend spending some time both in and out.
Robin OldhamJuly 17, 2013Well worth the €6 entry (13:00-17:00; free other times, but there may be services going on). Do *not* miss the elevator to the roof terraces!
- Apartment BarcelonaMarch 27, 2013The Cathedral is a wonderful gateway to the area of the Gothic Quarter and has free admission during non-peak hours. We can´t get enough!
Karla CordobaJuly 12, 2016Just awesome. Its a must to visit in this city. Need to walk all around it, has many "granjas" around so you can have a coffee
Isa SierraMay 21, 2016Beautiful gothic cathedral. The square at its front also gathers amazing life during the weekends.- Cheen The CuriousApril 23, 2022The highest point of the cathedral is 53m (174 ft). Source: Wikipedia

mafaldaqMarch 6, 2014Find the electric candle lights and just have fun by trying to guess which light will show. You can try this with just 0,10euro per candle light!- AB Apartment BarcelonaJanuary 30, 2015The cathedral’s interior is every bit as magnificent as you would expect, with a large principal altar and lateral altars dedicated to significant Saints.
